Let $(R, {\frak m})$ be a local ring, $I$ a proper ideal of $R$ and $M$ a finitely generated $R$-module of dimension $d$. We discuss the local homology modules of $H^d_I(M)$. When $M$ is Cohen-Macaulay, it is proved that $H^d_{{\frak…

Studying Hilbert functions of concrete examples of normal toric rings, it is demonstrated that, for each $1 \leq s \leq 5$, an $O$-sequence $(h_0, h_1, \ldots, h_{2s-1}) \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}^{2s}$ satisfying the properties that (i) $h_0…

This paper considers the following conjecture: If $R$ is an unmixed, equidimensional local ring that is a homomorphic image of a Cohen-Macaulay local ring, then for any ideal $J$ generated by a system of parameters, the Chern coefficient…

In this paper we solve a problem posed by M.E. Rossi: {\it Is the Hilbert function of a Gorenstein local ring of dimension one not decreasing? } More precisely, for any integer $h>1$, $h \notin\{14+22k, \, 35+46k \ | \ k\in\mathbb{N} \}$,…

The aim of this paper is to define the notion of the Cohen-Macaulay cone of a Noetherian local domain R and to present its application to the theory of Hilbert-Kunz functions. It has been shown in Kurano's paper "Numerical equivalence…

In this paper, we investigate the relationship between the index of reducibility and Chern coefficients for primary ideals. As an application, we give characterizations of a Cohen-Macaulay ring in terms of its type, irreducible…

We give a combinatorial description of local cohomology modules of a graded module over a semigroup ring, with support at the graded maximal ideal. This combinatorial framework yields Hochster-type formulas for the Hilbert series of such…

This work introduces a notion of complexes of maximal depth, and maximal Cohen-Macaulay complexes, over a commutative noetherian local ring. The existence of such complexes is closely tied to the Hochster's ``homological conjectures", most…

This paper is a sequel to [8] where we introduced an invariant, called canonical degree, of Cohen-Macaulay local rings that admit a canonical ideal. Here to each such ring with a canonical ideal, we attach a different invariant, called…
